Has an NBA player ever played with a small ankle sprain?

[ChrisRichards]

Of course he sleeps you friggin re . It's a phrase. He does treatment which no doubt INTERRUPTS his sleep. Seriolusly, you just can't be that stupid.

And there are quite a few guys who have played when their cartilage is fading and bone meets bone thus the comment "ALMOST".

Its not a phrase. When Kobe says " I like to in their face, its my thing" He means it. Kobe is a literal guy.

Keep that cobbler....

The ABSOLUTE MASTER of re-interpreting, explaining and excusing what's clear as a day...

El with the goods.

"Because when Kobe said that Shaq was paying women hush money what Kobe was really saying is that Shaq is a ladies man that likes to threat women well, and so does Kobe, and they're just quiet because they're with a basketball star. Duh"

So you are saying there couldn't possibly be any residual effect or restrain after you roll your ankle 90 degrees weeks before? Come on. You all know it only take a simple twist, stub of toes, or hit to rehurt it to some degree. Now you guys are just being idiots.

Nope. Snitching on Shaq was a reprehensible action. Kobe is an arrogant ass. I have no problems saying that. He's a jerk. But he's also one of the greatest players to ever lace em up and I'm glad he's leading our team to le after le.

Nono... making up. CLASSIC!

Have you met him? Have you talked to him? Do you know him personally?

Case closed.

I have no doubt in my mind that Kobe is a master in advertising his ailments, and it's not entirely his fault. The media loves to feed off this.

I also have no doubt that he gets dinged up here and there. All players do. I also have zero doubt he's human, and should he ever have an actually serious ankle roll or injury, he'll be out for a while, like every other athlete (You might find this part shocking, but it's actually true).

Just putting an example out there of your re-interpretation skills... I know, not as good as the real thing, but I thought it was pretty funny nonetheless

you didnt answer my question.



Is that a real sprain or is he faking it? Cause those acting skills to put the side of your foot flush on the floor are friggen amazing!

[Ace]

What's funny is when Kobe does that he sees five jaws when he looks down at the mirror shine on his rings.

This just in: it's being reported that Kobe Bryant suffered a hangnail late Sunday night. X-rays were negative; an MRI is scheduled for Monday morning. Fortunately, they were able to compress the injury with a Dora The Explorer Band-Aid, and the valiant Bryant is expected to muscle through the adversity and play with the injured appendage.

I don't know, is it? Are you a doctor?
Plenty of players play through mild sprains without much of a problem...

Why don't you tell us what Kobe was REALLY feeling when it happened?

[ElNono]

And tbh, neither of the incidents were him landing on somebody else's foot, which normally do end up being severe sprains... Kobe is a lucky guy...

I most certainly cannot. Neither can you. Im not the one saying he's lying and faking it though am I? He was asked how it was and he responded and I have no reason to doubt him after seeing the footage.

It's all about the Kobe and Laker hate. We get it. It comes with winning.

This joke was much funnier the first five times it appeared upthread, tbh.

So you want me to tell you it's an ankle sprain, but you don't really know it's an ankle sprain...

Why even go to the video?

It's not that complicated cobbler. He's a drama queen that like to publicize what a fake warrior he is. ESPN can't get enough of it.

Good for him. Nobody is 'upset' or 'losing sleep' over this, except for Kobe slobbers like you.

Then why are YOU bringing it up all the time? Nobody is losing sleep. Were in the hunt for 17. It's all good. I can tell you this. When a guy rolls his ankle 90 degrees and then says afterward thats its sprained, I have reason to belive him and the medical staff. I'm silly that way. Go figure.

What did I brought up?. Did you see me starting any threads about it?

I'm making fun of the whole situation... you don't have to laugh, although it's pretty hilarious seeing you get all riled up about it.

I have no reason to doubt the medical staff accepting Kobe not to have an MRI... the most reasonable conclusion is that whatever he has isn't serious enough to warrant one.

great thread so far.
